none of the so-called legislators bothered to read it either.

I hear you...I still can't get over what that witch of a so-called Speaker said about passing obamacare to find out what's in it even though I know there were many others involved. In my view that was a recall or impeachable offense.

It would also seem that affirmative action is on its face a violation of the 14th Amendment, just as institutionalized discrimination was before the Civil Rights movement matured (and later metastasized).

When I posted this thread the search function wouldn’t work so I posted without search, everything else was fast.

Thanks for verifying, Jaz. I wonder if maybe John turned off search as a bandwidth saver.

I think that’s a possibility or maybe the “work-around” he did disabled it.

I just checked it again and this still comes up, “The website declined to show this webpage.”

I bet you’re right, I bet it’s the work-around.

We are decidedly NOT free under Obama

We aren't free under *anybody* as long as waivers are required to stay that way.

Welcome to the USSA, comrades: a former superpower, now a banana republic with nukes.

Unfortunately, because the kenyan has assumed these powers and has not been challenged by the Congress the President now has these powers which means that Romney, if elected, will have them also. Romney may forgo using those powers but he will have them and so will the president who follows him. The presidency of the United States has effectively had the power of fiat conferred upon it by the Congress. Those unconstitutional powers given by Congress to the President must be wrested back from the Presidency by the Congress and even then future governments will be more or less dictatorial depending on the relative strength of the President and his party. The President no longer has Constitutional restraints on his power. If his party controls Congress then he can and will exercise his fiat.

Those who collect welfare / classify as poor and are eligible for subsidized state insurance but choose not to get the state insurance thus get out of the fine (due to poverty) and the insurance (by refusing the state option).
Muslims, Amish and Christian sects that don’t have insurance don’t have to use state mandated insurance. Unequal protection under the law.
Illegal aliens gain extra rights. They still get care for free in ERs, and they don’t have to have state insurance because they are not citizens and don’t have to pay the fine for not having it. Still subsidized by citizens, and exempt from the penalties.

Thanks as always for the ping Jaz. The brilliance of Thomas Sowell is in full view here. He summed up the threat to Liberty Zero has given us in just a few paragraphs. Thomas Sowell is a man of few words who really says things the way they really are.

As always it’s my pleasure and you summed up Dr. Sowell perfectly, we need many more like him.

” The President no longer has Constitutional restraints on his power. If his party controls Congress then he can and will exercise his fiat.”

There we are.
